About the piece
Painted in 1830 by George Hayter, this charming oil portrait depicts Charlotte and Louisa Stuart, daughters of a prominent British diplomat. The sisters are captured in a moment of refined leisure, with one at the piano and the other beside a harp, set against a sweeping landscape and luminous, cloud-filled sky. Hayter’s mastery is evident in the luminous rendering of their silk gowns and the expressive detail of their features.
